It does not matter how long you have had the battery..you could have one 6yr's and hardly use it and it will be ok aslong as it is kept topped up with charge..or you could fook one up in one season if you hammer it..which i have done many time's..the life of the battery depend's on how many times it has to be recharged..

When it's fooked.

 

Don't pay over the odds for sealed batteries. I get decent 12v 9ah for good price, don't sell them for profit, just to help lads out on here.

 

Can't say how long. They last, I've had mine 3 seasons and it gets hammered but I've known lads kill them in an hour.

Meant to say "I've known lads kill them in a season".

They is hammered and they is HAMMERED.. ..i won't use them sealed lead acid type anymore..as i was going through roughly 3 a season a few year's back..that was going through 3 to 4 12v 7Ah batteries a night on a weekend and one a night during the week..

I have moved over to the lithion ion now.. i have a 12v 10Ah and a 12v 22Ah coupled with a lightforce170 with a 75w bulb they are lighter and can withstand a lot more charges..
